A screen-grab of the post, from a user named Ben Kautz, was widely circulated after the death of Colten Boushie earlier this month. Social media post of Ben Kautz, elected to Browning SK council in Lampman Township. “His only mistake was leaving three witnesses,” read the post on a Saskatchewan farmers group Facebook page. Kautz, a farmer near the small town of Lampman, southeast of Regina, is a councillor with the rural municipality of Browning. The reeve for the area, Pius Loustel, wouldn’t say whether he thinks the post warrants Kautz’s removal from council.
